(Portland, OR) -- The Multnomah County Sheriff's Office is warning of scammers using real names of deputies and sergeants. One person lost a thousand dollars in the scam. Besides using real names, the scammers fake the caller ID and use fake badge numbers. They claim the person has a warrant, unpaid court fines, or missed jury duty. They pressure you into paying with gift cards, cash apps or with cryptocurrency. They threaten arrest. Law enforcement agencies will never use a phone call for a warrant, missed jury duty, or missed court dates. Victims should contact the Multnomah County Sheriff's Office.
